Convert OGG to MP4 Using VLC Media Player

Being a versatile media player, VLC has the ability to transcode a media file from one format to one another. Here is how you can convert from .ogg (or .ogm) format to mp4. First, install VLC media player

sudo apt-get install vlc

Open VLC (Applications -> Sound & Video -> VLC media player)

Select File->Wizard

Click Trancode/save to a file

Select a stream: point to the movie file that you want to convert

Check Transcode Video. Choose the format that you want to convert to. If you want to transcode the sound, check Transcode Audio and choose the format.

@chickchest: I like VLC because it is a versatile media player that comes with the format conversion function. It saves me time, effort and hard disk space then to install a stand alone video converter.

@skew: The only reason for me to convert to mp4 is because Youtube don’t support ogg format yet.
